COMMUNICATIONS Opposes Ilmii Pavement To the Editor: Tho Jiiek.son county court him unselfishly (?) clodded to pavo tho Mod ford to Ruch road which It nlready tho boHt and nowont nrnv- I olod rond In tho county. Tho people I never Intended for tho Ruch road to bo paved. If tho money miiHt bo spent on this rond It should be used In ex tending' n, graveled road from Ruch on up us far as tho road is not grav eled. Your editorial in Monday's paper was fine. You can't talk with a Air men or business man in tho county that doesn't complain of high taxes. Yet they will go to sleep and let the court sneak around and pull oft this "lmbocllistlu" stunt of throwing away a couplo hundred thousand dollars. A person can't blame the people living along the Medford to Ruch road for wanting a pavement, altho thoy already havd a road as good as a pavement, but for tho county court who should represent all tho people to bo so cmxy for It thero must be a nigger In the woodpile some plnee or other. . "o- Tho writer In yesterday's papor who said that last year's work on the Jack?' sonvllle to Ruch road was a rope tit Ion, of what had been done soveral years, before was telling an untruth, Thla road never was worked much until last year. Now it is good enough to lust ten years. Paving the - Medfor'd to Jacksonville road wouldn't be so bad, but paving from Jacksonville to, Ruch Is where the rottenness' come in. Thero are hundreds of people .la Juckson county living on roads that nre almost impassable In the winter. It is robbery to use money where It Is not needed when theso people need it so bad. , A..
